Just finished this challenge with 16 romantic interests, only managed 9 days holiday due to lack of money.  - Can't wait to find out the secret to 100s.

Ah yes, I also ran into some money problems and only got around 6 days of vacationing. I'm sure the secret to those insanely high scores is probably just extensive researching, planning, and practice. Very interested in learning everyone's technique though, they will be brilliant I'm sure.

Congratulations on terrific scores everyone. As always I'm seeing that I should have put a little more effort and patience into this challenge. And I probably should have planned my vacations a little better so I could actually use them all!

Can you take my name off this one please Metro? I've had a few goes at some trial runs and it really isn't one I can get into. I'm all for playing the challenges to experience something new, but there still has to be a fun element and with this it seems more of a chore than anything. I'll just concentrate on finishing wishmasters and the DaVinci one for now.

Same for me please! I just don't have time for Challenges now, I am concentrating on my Legacy to get it finished so I can get ready for my next one which involves 'Late Night' and that is only October!

Final count was 103.  I'm really happy with my stategy for this one, although luck also played into it.

Count me in, please, Metro. This doesn't sound too hard, save that keeping romantic interests till the end will be a challenge, I think!

Hey Metro, Please take my name off for this one. I've been messing with my legacy a lot lately and don't think I'll have time to fit this in right now.

Good luck to everyone else still working on this challenge :)

I hope I have time to fit this in, I decided I didn't have time to really practice so I just dove right in and its not going well - I've made 120+ friends but they keep disappearing from my list - makes it hard to get them in alphabetical order. I had 73 in my list after coming back from a trip to france  (I had 80 before I left france) I made 6 more friends and then I had 90.

This was much harder than I had first suspected but I finished! I think I had a good strategy but that my timing was off. I ended with 43 romantic interests. So not too bad but not as good as alot of you. I had 135+ friends though!

42!   ;D  Geesh... That one required tons of research (and alphabetizing).  Very tough - hence the "challenge".  ;)

Bring 'em on!!

Unfortunately, I fell down on the last three challenges due to complete life craziness, but I'm back and want to try to complete this one before the time is up, so please sign me up.

I almost forgot about this challenge because I've been too distracted by my Dynasty. (Thanks a lot, Metro!) :D I don't want to accidentally disqualify myself like I did in the Crazy Eights challenge, so I made sure to reread the rules before starting. I'm very glad I did because I overlooked two things:

1. Lifespan is set to Long, not Normal. That changes my strategy a little bit.

2. I never even signed up for this challenge yet!

Please add me to the leaderboard. I know there's only a few days left but this should be a quick one.

Ha ha. Yeah, I might have mentioned this in my Workbench thread, but due to the popularity of the Dynasty, I almost feel obligated to structure the entire 2011 Tournament at Normal game length. We'll see. It would certainly make for fewer mistakes. Good luck in this event, TheCub.

I know there are only a couple days left but I finished a test run of this in two days so I am going to give it a try.  Add me to the leaderboard please.  I have to stay up late tonight anyway sounds like a good way to pass some time.
